Mission
Statement

To facilitate the
ARB's verification of retrofit technology for existing diesel vehicles
and equipment in California by sharing information, experience
and expertise and to promote retrofitting by developing in-use
fleet demonstration programs of various retrofit technologies.

Workgroup Objectives

To encourage
manufacturers of retrofit devices to participate in the verification
and demonstration programs.

To assist in
developing and facilitating specific demonstration programs with
the emphasis on identifying on-road and off-road vehicle and /
or engine types that have not, so far, been retrofitted.

To assist in
identifying unusual vehicle and / or engine operating modes in various
vehicle / equipment fleet types that would present a technical
challenge to retrofit PM trap effectiveness and durability,
and thus should receive special emphasis in demonstration
programs.

To enhance the communication between manufacturers of retrofit devices, engine
and equipment manufacturers, and end-users regarding technical
concerns and solutions

To openly share test
data from all demonstration programs as well as
nonproprietary
technical data provided by manufacturer workgroup members.
